I love when I accidentally intercept a spider running across the floor and they raise up their front legs like “big thing! I fite!” And then if you move again they scurry away like “bigger than expect! very big! hide now!” Like, godspeed little one, go eat some ants
Jessie Graff at the Daytona Beach Finals - American Ninja Warrior 2017
I legit launched myself off the couch last night when she cleared the next-to-last obstacle.
Summary: Jessie finished FOURTH overall in the Daytona Beach city finals last night. Only one person finished the course, that’s how hard it was. She was one of only three other people to attempt the final obstacle.
Incidentally that yoga splits move you see her doing in the preview, to move between the floating boxes? A dude later tried that move but he didn’t have the flexibility. HA.
Watch the video. You won’t be sorry.
I just love how positive the commentators are.
They are SO EXCITED for her, when she thinks it through, when she nails it. “She’s dressed like a superhero and she’s performing like one!!!”
[Steve keeps trying to call Tony who refuses to answer]
Radio: The next one’s dedicated to Tony from Steve. Tony, he wants you to know he’s deeply sorry for what he did and he hopes you can find it in your heart to forgive him.
[With or Without You plays]
[Tony seems touched. He pauses for a moment, then picks up the phone and starts to dial. Cut to Steve in Wakanda.]
Radio: Uh, we’ve just gotten a call from Tony, and he told us what Steve did. It’s pretty appalling, and Steve, if you’re listening, I don’t wanna play your song anymore. Why don’t we devote our time to a couple that stands a chance? Charles, Erik’s sorry he hit you with his car and he hopes you two will work it out.
I’d honestly rather millions of drug addicts get safe opiates from doctors, than a single person with chronic pain go without because of the drug addiction fear mongering in the medical community.
It also decreases the spread of STDs, and so on. There’s endless benefits to it. But uh I guess keep fucking punishing disabled people and addicts because it makes yall feel morally superior or some shit–getting people killed for ideological purity.
Portugal legalized everything, with a couple caveats. If you’re found with (large amounts of, IIRC) drugs multiple times, you get a panel. The panel consists of a lawyer, a judge, and a doctor. Their job is to help you deal with addiction–not PUNISH YOU for having drugs, but help you overcome addiction.
The results? Oh baby, the results are fantastic. Portugal has far less addiction and fewer overdoses than basically anyone else. They’re treating drug problems as medical problems instead of crimes, and it’s absolutely working!
Oh, and America’s opiod crisis? Basically entirely the fault of drug corporations pushing high power painkillers on doctors/patients, including selling oxycontin with a 12 hour dose regimen when studies showed it really didn’t work that long, and refusing to adjust to the science.
Overstuffed ottoman Donald Trump, whose ego cannot tolerate news reports about the fallout of his historically bad administration, reportedly reads two folders filled with positive press about himself every day that consist of “screenshots of positive cable news chyrons (those lower-third headlines and crawls),…
You didn’t vote against a man endorsed by KKK newspapers and now he’s installing a cabinet full of white supremacist men.
You’ve heard of the Black Lives Matter movement trying to slow down rampant and deadly police brutality. And you allow Trump to install an Attorney General already deemed too racist to be a judge. You picked the Stop and Frisk candidate.
You heard his talk about walls and deportation patrols. But you let him get elected and his people are already talking about recreating Japanese internment camps.
You didn’t try to stop the man telling you he wants devastate multiple non-white communities with no regard to our safety and employ terroristic intimidation tactics.
If you are fine with all of this then what’s so bad about being called a racist? Your a fan of their work. You benifit from the result.

Well you see, Garry, you really can’t top napped obsidian. I know the anatomically modern humans are doing some interesting things with bone, but what you got here is durability, a sleek, user-serviceable design, and an edge that just won’t quit.
My favorite bad interview didn't go creepy, thank god, it went.. weird. The gig I was working for my temp company was coming to an end. My handler sent me out to an interview with an office in state government (not common, but not unheard of). I show up 5 minutes early for the interview, and they leave me waiting for twenty. The interviewer was.. distracted? His questions are bouncing around everywhere, and he's not really giving me a chance to talk. Then he pulls out my resume, and starts "critiquing" it. Mostly, he's confused that I so many short term positions on it. Which I do, because I've listed all the temps positions I've had with the temp company, working in state government. He doesn't like that, that I'm a temp who's worked a lot of temp jobs. And I'm sitting there, forcibly not pointing out that I'm a TEMPORARY worker, that the TEOMPORARY company that he contacted sent to interview for a TEMPORARY position. There is no problem with my resume, it's gotten me tons of interviews. It's the interviews that kill me every time.
Job interviews can be challenging to navigate even without the added stress of trying to diplomatically field inappropriate, invasive, or downright illegal lines of questioning. We asked you to share the most insane interview question you’ve been asked on Facebook, and boy, did you all deliver. In the interest of…
auto-reshare and, no offense to Hormel Chili, which I honestly haven't tried, I would like to change the word "racist" to "you lonely Hormel Chili eating old person"
still can’t believe that someone would write Padme dying from “loosing her will to live” after just having two beautiful babies and meanwhile that burned circus peanut has enough will to survive 100% burning and tripple amputation. only a man could write that bullshit.
This is why I like the theory that Palpatine used the Force to literally TAKE the life force from her and give it to his dying apprentice so that Vader could live. It makes way more sense and I’m clinging to that headcanon so hard it can’t breathe.
Steven Pinker, the famous linguist who’s not Noam Chomsky, doesn’t think using “literally” figuratively is all that bad. “The figurative use doesn’t mean the language is deteriorating,” he says in a 2014 interview, comparing it to the hyperbolic use of “terrific” or “wonderful.”
when they’re cleaning their feets and spread all their little toes out
when they smelled something weird and make a stinky face
when they walk up to you making little chirpy purrs of inquiry
when they get distracted by a noise mid-lick and a tongue blep occurs
when they see a bird and do that ekekekk thing
when they become possessed by the devil and tear around the house with demonic speed and then pause mid-vicious-attack of a scratching pole to whip their head around and fix you with their all-pupil stare of unhinged terror
This is one of those amazing gifsets where it’s hugely significant and emotional to people in the fandom but out of the fandom this guy is talking really intensely and sharing vulnerable moments with his tea
Honestly, this is good advice. I'm not a people person. But I work hard at pretending to be. I let assholes be assholes, but I let them know when they're stepping on me, Usually, they step back. And if they do, they're probably somewhat like me, uncomfortable with people in general. Sometimes, I get to know people who are pretty cool if you give them a chance. And being known as someone who will give people a chance leads to people giving me a chance, once they know i have "issues." I don't like everybody I mean, but when I act like I do, people get more likable. Or they don't, but they think I like them so I get what I want from them more often.
My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.
peter parker in the 2002 movie is fuckin…. incredible. he gets bitten by a fuckin jacked red blue spider and he doesnt say “hey someone should take me to the hospital mayhaps?” he just goes home. then the bite swells to the size of a fuckin jawbreaker but he’s like “nah i just need a nap.” then he wakes up the next day and discovers that he DOESN’T NEED HIS GLASSES ANYMORE and he has a fuckin six pack. does he flip his entire Fuck? no. he says, “cool.” iconic.
